The recorder with the model name: YRB-302BII-YAM manufactured by Yamaha is a musical tool that makes music fun in the classroom and on stage.
The instrument owes this characteristic mainly to the skilful marriage of the ingenious design in fine tuning with the qualities of the plastic material used.
The material used for this instrument impresses with its exceptional sound characteristics. The properties can be characterised as follows, whereby it is in the nature of things that sounds can only ever be inadequately described in words. This is why the sound of a recorder is perceived and described differently by each person: .
The scale
The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower scale.
For which musical styles is the recorder best suited?
Plastic is particularly suitable for recorders that focus on choral playing, recorder ensembles and orchestras, other styles are possible.
Who this instrument is aimed at
It follows that plastic recorders are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another rule of thumb is that a higher-quality instrument generally makes playing easier than a seemingly inexpensive bargain.
The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the headjoint of the recorder where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This air blade is the basis of the recorder's sound.
In interaction with the labium, the air blade creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
extremely relevant
for the sound and response of the instrument. The windway of the Yamaha YRB-302BII-YAM instrument is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the air blade more than cylindrically shaped ones. Due to their geometric shape, windways are extremely complex and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Yamaha YRB-302BII-YAM model is manufactured in fingering: Baroque double hole.
Multi-piece construction
The constructional design of a musical instrument in terms of multiple parts characterises in many ways the way in which the recorder is easy to handle in terms of easy assembly and compact transport. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are to be taken along.
Just ask veteran ensemble leaders.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder comes with a bag and useful accessories as standard: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, wiper stick, wiper cloth, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is shared, you should consider sterilising the blowing area regularly for your own protection.
Flautisept has proven effective for disinfection in these cases. Flautisept is available in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Glazed surfaces, RESONA, Waxed surfaces, ABS plastics, Linseed oil surfaces, Lacquered surfaces, Spirit-stained surfaces, Untreated wooden surfaces
However, before use, test on an inconspicuous area to ensure that the product does not cause any discolouration on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place the tone holes in places in the body that are easy and comfortable to play with your fingers. Particularly on low instruments, tone holes are not ergonomically accessible for acoustic reasons. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The YRB-302BII-YAM instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This means that it can also be played ergonomically by players with smaller hands.

In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.
For which musical styles can the instrument be best used?
Maple is particularly suitable for instruments that are used in ensembles, in choral playing and as solo instruments.
Who is this instrument aimed at?
The above facts show that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. Another noteworthy fact is that a better instrument naturally makes playing together easier than a simple one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the head of the instrument where the air is moulded into a sheet of air. This sheet of air is the basis of the instrument's sound production.
In interaction with the labium, the air leaf creates the vibration that generates the flute sound. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining principles
for the variability of the instrument's musical expression. The windway of the Moeck model 4540-MOE is constructed as follows: Curved, conical.Conical windways accelerate the airflow more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are of course extremely complex in their geometric design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Moeck 4540-MOE recorder is made in the fingering: Baroque double hole.
Construction method
The number of individual parts of a woodwind instrument characterises in many ways the way in which the recorder is handled during daily use in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. A point that becomes particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments are to be taken along.
Recorder choir leaders know how useful good and compact recorder packaging is. Provided the instruments can be easily disassembled.
Packaging and accessories
The instrument is supplied as standard with a case and the following accessories: Cleaning rod, drying cloth, cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart
Hygiene tips
If the recorder is often lent out, you should consider sterilising the windway regularly to prevent the transmission of diseases.
The care product Flautisept has proved its worth in such cases. You can find Flautisept in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Glazed surfacesABS plasticsUntreated wooden surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesRESONALacquered surfacesWaxed surfacesLinseed oil surfaces
However, it is essential that you test the product on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any discolouration on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to drill tone holes in places on the instrument that are comfortable to play with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes are not ergonomically accessible, especially on larger instruments. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 4540-MOE instrument has the following keys: Centre joint keys + foot key. This means that it can also be played comfortably by players with smaller hands.

The geometry of the inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical and wider on average. This type of bore gives the model its typical sound.
In principle, instruments with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than recorders with a narrower scale.
What kind of music is the recorder best suited for?
Maple is predestined for instruments focussing on Renaissance and folk music, other styles are possible.
Who is this recorder aimed at?
This means that maple instruments are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players. A second generally applicable basic rule is that a more sophisticated instrument naturally makes learning more enjoyable than a poor one.
The windway of a recorder
The windway is the area in the instrument headjoint where the blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the determining element in the sound production of a recorder.
The vibration that generates the flute sound originates from this air blade at the labium. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the basic characteristics
for the sound and response of the recorder. The windway of the Mollenhauer instrument 4507-MOLL is constructed as follows: Curved, cylindrical.Conical windways accelerate the breathing air more than cylindrically shaped ones. Windways are very complex in their design and many parameters influence each other.
Fingering
The Mollenhauer 4507-MOLL recorder is made in the following fingering: Baroque single hole.
Construction of the body
The number of components of a musical instrument has an extraordinary influence on the way in which the recorder can be handled in terms of ease of assembly on the one hand and ease of transport on the other. This is a point that should not be underestimated, especially when transporting larger (and sometimes several) instruments.
Experienced ensemble players can tell you a thing or two about this.
Packaging and accessories
The recorder is supplied as standard with a case and the appropriate accessories: Cork grease, strap, fingering chart, microfibre wiper, care instructions
Hygiene tips
If the instrument is used by several players, it is advisable to sterilise the blowing area if necessary to ensure hygienic safety.
In these cases, the cleaning agent Flautisept has proven to be effective. You can find Flautisept in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Waxed surfacesSpirit-stained surfacesLinseed oil surfacesLacquered surfacesRESONAGlazed surfacesUntreated wood surfacesABS plastics
To be on the safe side, test on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that the product does not leave any discolouration on your instrument.
Optional information on keys
Tone holes cannot always be placed where they can be played comfortably with the fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing easier or even possible in the first place.
The instrument 4507-MOLL has the following keys: 1-fold foot key. This means that it can also be played ergonomically well by players with smaller hands.

This material inspires the instrument with its unique advantages. The features can be characterised as follows: RESONA: Full and clear sound. Warm and carrying.
The scale
The inner bore of the instrument is slightly cylindroconical. This type of bore gives the instrument its typical sound.
In principle, recorders with a wider bore sound warmer, fuller, more fundamental and therefore more suitable for ensembles than instruments with a narrower bore.
For which musical styles is the recorder best suited?
RESONA plastic is predestined for instruments that are used for these styles of music: All styles.
Who is the instrument aimed at?
This means that recorders made from RESONA plastic are particularly suitable for ambitious amateurs and advanced players.

The windway of the recorder
The windway is the area in the recorder head where the musician's blowing air is moulded into a thin sheet of air. This sheet of air is the central starting point of the instrument's sound production.
At the labium, the vibration that fundamentally generates the flute sound is created from this sheet of air. The shape of the windway is therefore
one of the defining characteristics
for the instrument's range of musical expression. The windway of the Paetzold by Kunath 24-AS-PBK recorder is shaped as follows: straight, conical.Conical windways accelerate the breath more than cylindrical ones. Windways are extremely complex in their design and many parameters are influenced by each other.
Fingering
The Paetzold by Kunath 24-AS-PBK recorder is made in the fingering style: Baroque double hole.
Construction of the body
The construction of the body of a woodwind instrument is fundamentally characterised by the way in which the recorder can be easily assembled and transported during use. This is particularly important when larger instruments or several instruments need to be taken along.
Recorder choir directors know how useful good and compact recorder cases are. Provided the instruments can be disassembled into small pieces.
Packaging and accessories
Recorders in the SOLO model series are supplied as standard with a bag with rucksack function and practical accessories: Cork grease, care instructions, fingering chart
Things to know about connecting the instrument parts
Paetzold by Kunath instruments are easy to assemble without any special effort. This is due to the special design of the joint between the instrument parts.
The double seal developed by Paetzold by Kunath creates a form-fit and airtight connection between the parts, which is characterised by its ease of movement.
This makes the F-basset instruments from Paetzold by Kunath among the most ergonomic recorders to assemble and disassemble.
Care of the double seal
To prevent the double seals from being damaged during storage, red protective caps are included with the F-Basset recorder.
You should always usethese protective caps when storing the instrument in its packaging.
Then you will be able to enjoy your recorder for many years to come.
Double seals require no further care.
Hygiene tips
If the instrument is lent out frequently, it makes sense to sterilise the headjoint again and again to keep it clean.
Flautisept has proved its worth in such cases. Flautisept is available in our collection.
It works with the following surfaces:
Lacquered surfacesLinseed oil surfacesRESONAGlazed surfacesABS plasticsWaxed surfacesUntreated wood surfacesSpirit-stained surfaces
To be on the safe side, test Fautisept on an inconspicuous area before use to ensure that it does not leave any discolouration on your recorder.
Optional information on keys
It is not always possible to place the tone holes in places that are comfortable and easy to reach with your fingers. For acoustic reasons, some tone holes on bass recorders in particular are not ergonomically accessible. Keys are fitted to such instruments to make playing much easier or even possible in the first place.
The 24-AS-PBK instrument has the following keys: Full folding (Paetzold by Kunath). This makes it remarkably easy to play, even for players with smaller hands.
